Happiness Is...The (Almost) Finished Bathroom!

Happiness is a project crossed off the To Do list. In this case, the hall bathroom at our city house. Yep, it's pretty much done! Oh, there's some paint touch up and some shelves to put up over the toilet but it's basically done! First, a side by side comparison:
Here's what I did -

Cabinets restained:

New shower curtain, towels, and rugs:

And art on the walls!



close up of painting I did of my
children playing on the beach


 Plus special memories and accessories on the counter:


I am replacing the cabinet over the toilet (my late father-in-law made it for me) with chunky shelves. (It's going to go in my art studio where it will be better utilized.) I hope to get the shelves done this weekend.


Sand between my toes, salty air, the sound of waves. I can almost feel it! One project down!

    Gorgeous! I love the beachy theme and how special you made it by including one of your paintings of your children.

    The seahorse above the towel is so pretty.

    I love how it turned out so far. The darker stain on the cabinets really did make a difference. I love the artwork you've added to the walls!

    Oh, what a wonderful feeling to tick this project off your list, dear Cecilia! I love how you redid your bathroom...I think a nautical theme is the best for this room:). And your painting...oh my! It is so sweet!
    Happy Thursday to you!
    Hugs n' love...

    Congrats looks great - always a good feeling when you can cross something off the list, just means you're a little closer to your goal and I really like the darker cabinets.

    Really nice Cecilia. Love the shower curtain and the nautical theme. Your painting of your children and the framed shells are so beautiful and fitting for that room.
    Great job.
